Re: Alternate Controller

i think it's pwm. 6, 1 for each channel, 1 to 2 ms pulses such that 1 ms is full reverse, 2ms is full forward and 1.5ms to stop. near as i can tell this is how cheaper rc controllers work.

not something your laptop will put out unless you want to try some low level stuff on the parallel port. might want to be running some sort of low latency OS on the laptop.

of course, you can order a programming kit and write a little something to get the vex controller to listen on its serial port for instructions from your laptop. nice plain ascii human readable instructions at that.
